Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

[Bullet]

I'm looking forward to reading people's first impressions of it all after the game tomorrow

I popped down on Tuesday for a quick look, expecting to be impressed.

There was lots of hoardings, lots of workmen, scaffold, sheeting, couldn't see much... the photos from the Spurs cameras and from the various photo-warriors on the SSC thread are a lot more revealing than my cursory visit. Don't expect Vegas on acid, just expect a building site where you can't see over the hoardings.

Maybe some of the build shots/time-lapse will feature on the jumbotron ... just to encourage eveyone.

Going to be weird sat in the West Stand today, and even weirder staring straight across at that missing corner

Will be even weirder for the West Stand lot when they see a commoner up close.

Wait till they see the wife eating a Balti pie with gravy on it!

In Paxton Upper today at other end to the big gap. It does look odd but somehow not as weird as I thought it would.
don't think I have ever been this high up in the ground before. Feels that if I jump up I will topple down the rows!

Mind the gap...

Anyone know if we're putting no heating and only cold showers in the away changing room?

 

[paxtonwolf]

Looking at the gap in the ground, for me it sort out felt like Stoke's ground.

Definitely not quite as weird as I thought it might be

Walking past those pillars with the rebar sticking out (4th pic above) behind the Paxton, weird to think (IIRC) that that is the basement level and where the bar is sticking out will be ground level for the new stadium (think so anyhow)

 

[Baleforce]

is that a sand pit for the kids to play in at H/T?

The gap did not appear to effect the flight of the ball in the match, but it was gusting along The Paxton. I think it's going to be chilly in the winter. Did anyone try the new beer token scheme? was it helpful?

The walkway is elevated above the ground floor. That pillar will be supporting the lower tier and the inner edge of the first floor. Similar to this (floor not included):

That's not the basement level. It's as @Jordinho says

No Balti pies, I blame Levy

Thought that was just a West Stand thing. She was gutted to have to have Chicken, just wasnt the same

 

[Glenda's Legs]

I'm the Paxton they had a whole menu of pies. I am sure I've never seen that in the Shelf before.

They had that in the Shelf/East Stand too

They had that in the Shelf/East Stand too

Did the caterers change this year? Think I might have seen that somewhere. Or maybe just imagining it.
